I wondered if anyone would answer that, and it came quickly. I also think 4/20 is associated with marijuana, I think it has something to do with the police code 420 for the offense.

I'm loving this post, and I love the wikipedia site for this sort of information.

I'm proud to say a lot of pretty talented people share the same birthday as me (15 July)...not that I am talented much but still....

Rembrandt; lots of authors (Iris Murdoch; Clive Cussler); lots of musicians (Linda Ronstadt; Alicia "I Love the Nightlife" Bridges; Trevor Horn; Johnny Thunders; Joe Satriani; Ian Curtis from Joy Division); and Arianna Huffington and Jesse Ventura (go figure)...plus Brian Austin Green, that guy who played David Silver on "90210".

Deaths of note include Farinelli (the castrato); Anton Chekhov; Bert Convy (the host of Super Password and Win, Lose or Draw); and Gianni Versace.

That was fun!
